Dalmatian Rescue

Dalmatian Rescue clubs are non-profit organizations dealing in rescuing,

treating and re-homing dogs that for some reason have lost their owners.

Dog rescue activities are usually based on volunteer efforts, and they

live by donations and can be funded by various sponsors. Unfortunately,

these organizations always have a job to do, since nearly half of all

once purchased Dalmatians eventually become unwanted.

Actually, there is just one reason why Dalmatians lose their homes, and

this is our hastiness and irresponsibility. Most puppies bought from

puppy mills develop serious diseases and behavior problems, so their

owners eventually feel disappointed in their pets and see no better

alternative than surrendering their pets to Dalmatian Rescue

organizations. Dalmatians are naturally active and somewhat rowdy,

especially in youth, and many owners fail to properly train and

socialize their dogs. When they grow up, they often become ill-tempered

and too suspicious of guests.

Dalmatians are naturally active, and they tend to become hyperactive

unless they have a good entertainment. They are intelligent companions,

but they can be stubborn and persistent in doing things their own way.

Failure to provide exercise and entertainment for a Dalmatian may lead

to noisy or destructive behavior and serious behavior problems, which is

just one more reason why so many Dalmatians end up in Dalmatian Rescues.

Training and socialization are absolute musts. It takes a great deal of

devotion and thought to arrange training process properly, as these dogs

often have to pass through a routine before they start to respond to

training. Training is not always an easy game, and many novice Dalmatian

owners experience difficulties.

Dalmatians are strong and boisterous, and if they get out of hand, they

can become a sheer trouble for young owners. These dogs grow very fast,

but they grow faster physically than mentally. For this reason, they

retain their puppy-like rowdiness for a long time, and if a two-year-old

Dalmatian gets up to a mischief, he may turn the whole place upside

down. Dalmatians like to chew on things, so they need chewing toys. If

you fail to provide toys for your Dalmatian, he may take it out on your

shoes, clothes and furniture. Destructive behavior is just another

reason why Dalmatian Rescue organizations find it hard to cope with the

inflow of abandoned and stray Dalmatians.
